Galaxy's mission is to become the world's largest blockchain agnostic, always on, node network and protocol offering services to decentralized platforms.

We are looking to accomplish this by executing the following;

• Building and maintaining the Galaxy blockchain and protocol.
• Designing and building beautiful modified tiny computers (Raspberry Pi) as Galaxy nodes.
• Providing an exceptional API, SDK and marketplace experience that allows developers to easily access and build on top of the Galaxy node network.
• A simple and easy node owner interface and incentive program to incentivize node owners.
• Provide the best experience for developers to quickly deploy node modules, apps and services to decentralized platforms.
